	I really hate to bother everyone with one more note about who the
"Other" that  Yoda  alludes  to  in  tEST. But, I  mailed   something  to
net.sf-lovers along time ago (when this subject was  fresh)  and recently
learned that our uucp was on the fritz so the message never left my site.
So, here we go again...


	Some people have suggested, and I agree,  that the "Other" is non
other (sorry)  then  Boba Fett, the bounty hunter. I feel this to be true 
for a number of reasons:

	o	What about Han? We all would agree that he is too dashing
		a rogue to be butchered while hanging around in  a  block
		of ice! Boba Fett  will  thaw  poor  Han  and  discretely
		insert him back into the warmer set.

	o	Lets say you were a Jedi of immense stature you were not
		sure  if  others  on  your  side were still around. What
		better guise  to operate under  then  a  friend  of  the
		Empire, be  someone so nasty as to place yourself out of
		suspicion?

	o	Why did Vader put up  with  the  insolence of Boba Fett?
		Two  possibilities.  First, perhaps Vader considered the
		role Fett  was  playing  (carting  away  Han  Solo)  was 
		important enough to put up with some gruff. Not  likely.
		Vader really couldn't give a bleep what happened to Han.
		Second,  improbable    but    interesting,   Vader   was
		manipulated via  the  force by Fett into agreeing. Vader 
		would never suspect that he was manipulated since to his
		knowledge he is the top Living Jedi.

	Well,  who knows - maybe Ol' Darth will have a change of hearth,
	uh, heart. We'll see next summer won't we.
